Abstract

The study aimed to explore the figurative language used in Taylor Swift’s songs, with an emphasis on identifying the various types of figurative language employed. The descriptive qualitative research method was used to identify and analyze the figurative language present in the songs of Taylor Swift. This approach involved a detailed examination of the lyrics, focusing on categorizing and interpreting various forms of figurative language. Utilizing a theory developed by Greg Johnson and Thomas Roscoe Arp, in collecting the data, the researcher used a non-participation technique. The songs of Taylor Swift served as the object of this investigation. The findings of this study indicated that 18 data of figurative language were identified and categorized. The researchers discovered that simile was the most prevalent form of figurative language. Figurative language was found in several of Taylor Swift’s songs, including "Red" from the Red album, "Shake It Off" from the 1989 album, "Back to December," "Mean," and "Enchanted" from the Speak Now album, "Cruel Summer" and "Daylight" from the Lover album, "Blank Space" and "Style" from the 1989 album, and "Slut" from the Midnights album.

Abstract

This research analyzes the impoliteness strategies used in “The Devil Wears Prada” movie, focusing on how these strategies reflect the power dynamics and emotional tensions between characters. By exploring examples of bald on-record impoliteness, positive and negative impoliteness, sarcasm or mock politeness, and withholding politeness, the study intends to reveal the implications of these strategies on the characters’ interactions, self-perception, and the overarching themes of ambition and identity in the film. This research utilized a descriptive qualitative method. Data was collected through observational and non-participatory techniques. The researcher observed the dialogue from the movie "The Devil Wears Prada" and recorded the data using note-taking. The non-participatory technique was employed because the researcher did not directly engage as a participant in the conversations. The analysis was conducted using the pragmatics identity method. The analysis reveals two instances of bald on record impoliteness, two instances of positive impoliteness, two instances of negative impoliteness, two instances of sarcasm or mock politeness, and one instance of withheld politeness. In examining the impoliteness strategies utilized in “The Devil Wears Prada”, it becomes clear that the characters often employ various methods to exert power and control in their interactions. Miranda Priestly, in particular, uses direct insults, sarcasm, and dismissive remarks to establish her dominance and reinforce the existing social hierarchies within the workplace. Furthermore, the film demonstrates that these strategies highlight the ruthless nature of the fashion industry and influence character development and audience interpretation. Ultimately, the dynamics of impoliteness enhance the film’s themes of ambition, sacrifice, and the ethical dilemmas found in professional settings.

Abstract

Reading comprehension remains one of the biggest issues with second language (L2) learners, particularly due to a lack of vocabulary knowledge. This study addresses the role of morphological instructional methods to enhance students' vocabulary acquisition, particularly prefixes and suffixes via reading activities. Drawing on a literature review method, the research combines outcomes from a number of studies to identify effective morphological approaches that make it easy for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners. It focuses on how morphological awareness—understanding word structure and formation—is capable of improving vocabulary comprehension and subsequently reading comprehension. The study also examines the role of inflectional and derivational morphemes in instructional settings, highlighting their ability to facilitate students to make inferences about word meaning, increase vocabulary, and produce greater levels of literacy. Results reveal that the integration of morphological strategies into instruction in the classroom not only enhances students’ language proficiency but also enhances reading motivation and engagement. The research concludes by recommending that English language educators incorporate explicit morphological instruction to support learners in decoding and constructing words effectively

Abstract

This study investigates the application of positive politeness strategies in formal business correspondence written by native English speakers. The research is motivated by the increasing recognition of politeness as a pragmatic tool in maintaining professionalism and managing interpersonal relationships in written communication. Despite numerous studies on digital communication, there is limited analysis of how politeness strategies are systematically employed in conventional business letters. To address this gap, the study analyzes fifteen letters selected from the Oxford Handbook of Commercial Correspondence. Using Brown and Levinson’s (1987) politeness theory and Nickerson’s (1999) typology of business letter components, the research focuses on elements such as salutations, contexts, pre-closes, closings, signatures, and enclosures. A qualitative descriptive approach was used, with the referential identity technique applied to classify and interpret 121 instances of politeness strategies. The results show that the most frequent strategy was the use of appropriate forms of address (45 instances), followed by establishing common ground, expressing optimism, and asserting knowledge. These strategies appeared consistently across letter components, reflecting their dual function as both communicative and relational tools. The findings highlight the central role of linguistic politeness in reinforcing professionalism, fostering mutual respect, and encouraging future cooperation. This study concludes that positive politeness is not merely ornamental, but a vital rhetorical device in written business interaction. Future research may explore how these strategies vary across cultural contexts or adapt in digital business communications.

Abstract

This study investigates how undergraduate students construct scholarly identity and express agency in academic writing through the use of modality and lexical choices. Drawing on a discourse analysis framework, the research analyzes a corpus of undergraduate essays from an English language education program, focusing on the strategic deployment of modal verbs, adverbs, evaluative language, and hedging devices. The analysis reveals that students vary in their ability to position themselves authoritatively in the academic discourse community. High-achieving students tend to use modality to balance assertion and caution, displaying nuanced control over epistemic stance and interpersonal engagement. In contrast, lower-achieving students often rely on assertive or vague expressions that limit dialogic interaction with potential readers. Additionally, lexical choices such as abstract nouns, nominalizations, and evaluative adjectives are found to be instrumental in shaping a credible scholarly persona. These findings underscore the importance of explicit instruction in linguistic features that construct academic voice and identity. The study contributes to the growing body of research on student writing by highlighting the role of language in mediating both personal agency and disciplinary alignment in academic discourse.

Abstract

This study investigates the use of symbolism in Robert Frost’s poem The Road Not Taken and its function in constructing the poem’s central theme. Employing a semiotic analysis grounded in Peirce’s theory of signs, the research identifies and interprets fifteen symbolic elements distributed across the poem’s four stanzas. These symbols such as “two roads,” “yellow wood,” “grassy path,” and “sigh” convey the psychological and philosophical dimensions of decision-making, uncertainty, and the retrospective construction of meaning. Findings demonstrate that Frost’s poetic imagery serves not only as aesthetic expression but also as a medium for exploring existential concerns. The study highlights how literary symbols can effectively mediate complex human experiences and offers insight into the cognitive and emotional processes behind life choices. The results contribute to a deeper understanding of symbolic narrative in poetry and encourage further semiotic research within literary studies.

Abstract

This community service program aims to enhance the speaking fluency of vocational school students through the application of the Direct Method in teaching connected speech. Connected speech, a crucial aspect of natural English pronunciation, is often neglected in conventional English instruction. The Direct Method, which emphasizes immersive language use and oral interaction without translation, was chosen to improve students’ spontaneous speaking skills. The training was conducted at SMK Tunas Muda Batam with 19 students participating in a series of interactive sessions. Using qualitative-descriptive methods, pre-training and post-training observations, along with feedback, were analyzed. Results show a significant increase in students’ confidence, listening comprehension, and ability to produce reduced forms such as linking, assimilation, and elision. This activity highlights the effectiveness of the Direct Method in helping EFL learners internalize natural English rhythm and speech patterns.
